Where in the us and how much is it in the store? I’m just curious

If you can get another pic of the smashers, it might be easier to id

about how big is it?

Hadla · 04/22/2018, 02:11 AM

My best guess is japonicus based on all pics in the list of stomatopods

Not havanensis cause it’s not mottled at all and there’s no red spot on the antennal scales
